Dinardo and his cousin Sean Michael Kratz, 20, of Philadelphia, are charged with the July 7 slayings of Dean Finocchiaro, 19, of Middletown Township; Thomas Meo, 21, of Plumstead Township; and Mark Sturgis, 22, of Pennsburg, Montgomery County. Their burned bodies were found Wednesday in a 12-foot-deep common grave elsewhere on the same property.

Dinardo is also accused of killing Jimi Taro Patrick, 19, of Newtown Township, on July 5, and burying him in a single grave on DiNardo's parents' land.

"Bucks County is still examining the contents of DiNardo's statement, so we're not sure if what he said can be corroborated yet on our end," Capt. Sekou Kinebrew told reporters there. "As soon as we get something concrete, we will advise the media."
